Notes
The REH letters appeared in Ultima Thule #1.
The Hyperborean League was an Amateur Press Association dedicated to serious discussion of the authors Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith.
Ultima Thule was Glenn Lord's apazine in the short-lived The Hyperborean League. It gathers together all of Glenn Lord's contributions to The Hyperborean League, even including one that did not include the Ultima Thule masthead.
Only 15 issues appeared on the date on the indicia.
